Wrapped in brown paper tied up with string! HELP

Posts: 49 Forumite
Hi last year, I tied up some Xmas presents with brown kraft/wrapping paper and decorated them with thin parcel string and addressed/tagged them using brown paper luggage labels.
They looked fantastic compared to my usual present wrapping - v. stylish - but this year I don't know where to get hold of the old fashioned brown paper luggage labels I used. (Last year's 'stock' had been hanging around for years and I ran out).
Can anyone help/or suggest a suitable alternative?
Many thanks

Probably of little help to you, but my local 'McColls' had some of these in their sale basket for 30p (for a pack of 10). I bought a pack to use on my hampers. I could check to see if there's any left tomorrow if you want?:T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j0 -

I've done this at Xmas too.
But I painted a pic on the parcel - an xmas tree or a star
Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...0 -
